If you want to edit a project you started on your iPad in iMovie for the Mac, follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3240
Since we currently can't access YouTube on the iPads I have students e-mail me their movies and I post them on the edmodo page for their class. They can also save the movie to their camera roll and then post it to any publishing site you choose.
